NBDL Delta Air Lines Postseason Classic: The D-League has added a Final Four twist to its postseason this year with the Delta Air Lines Postseason Classic. Instead of playoff series, the NBDL will use a single-elimination format with the top four regular season finishers. Dates and times still to come.
Little Known NBDL Fact: Fayetteville plays at Huntsville Tuesday evening. Travel time from the Crown Coliseum to the Von Braun Center is 10 hours by coach, and that's not the section behind first class. That's coach, as in bus. In all, the trip consists of 622 miles of fast food, assorted smells and every Ice Cube movie ever made.
